I'm starting to believe that there is no such thing as "happy" for me.

After being long-distance for just over five years, he finally came to stay with me until I get my degree next year... But he's miserable.

I can't take this... I've tried everything. He's not paying rent because he's with me, I even cook and do laundry for him (he does the dishes willingly), and I helped him find a job after a YEAR of fruitless searching...

But he's still miserable.

Over and over he tells me this... that for the first time in his life he's homesick. That he misses his family and his friends. He doesn't like the weather here. There's no one he really knows or wants to associate with. He already doesn't like his job. This isn't what he wants to do with his life. He feels wrong for being with me before we're married and that he's mooching off me and that irritates him...

He kisses me and tells me it's alright and that he loves me... brings me over to cuddle him when we sleep... I know our affection is still strong and real, but...

I'm apparently not enough. If he's not happy... then it's not worth it. I'm going to have to give him up again... be alone, feel the heartache of wanting him but not having him within 2000 miles of me... Because I'm just not good enough to make everything else worth it.

And it hurts. A lot.

I feel as though I have become completely disassociated from societal norms of dating and male female interaction. It is as though I have been overlooked in the entirety of suitable mates. I don’t feel as though I am unattractive or intolerable, aside from certain social inadequacies, but who isn’t plagued by the occasional bought of self-doubt.
My friend told me I need to lower my standards, and that expecting too much is my issue. However, if lowering my standards in order to have a mate is my only option then maybe it is better if I don’t. Maybe my current predicament is better then being with Joe Blow, for the hell of it.
Maybe I am to hung up on the notion of being in love and relationships, but it gets to a point when you have reached a certain age that one starts to wonder, is there something inherently wrong with me that makes me so abhorrent to the opposite sex?

Reconnected to an old friend from school,many many years have passed,he was my 1st crush but I realize now I didnt really know him well just there was something I liked about him then.Now decades later we have become close friends and I have gotten to know him better he is the most amazing man I ever met,I think I connect to him more than I did my late husband and thats the 1st time I have been able to actually admit that to myself,I know I have fallen in love with him and that it is not mutual,I dont know if he can tell.He is too busy lamenting his lost crush to notice,I have become just a pal, his confident to pour his heart out too.It tears me up inside to hear him talk about others but as his friend I serve a purpose ...I get to hear his voice ,try to bring him comfort so I stay here...crying .....angry at myself for being so stupid but unable to stop it

I've never believed that I could love. It's just something I didn't think I had the time or patience for. A waste of time. Something for after highschool. After College. I'm even hesitant to say the word 'love' when it's not to my parents or to a dog.

I've liked plenty of girls. I just classified her as just another that I had an infatuation for that I couldn't get over as fast.

But yesterday I cried. I cried because I thought that when she ran off after telling me she'd need to borrow my shirt for awhile, she wasn't coming back. I haven't REALLY cried in YEARS. Even when family members died.

That day, she had told me that I'm not her type. I'm not a dark, mysterious, emoish guy. I'm just a great guy with bad luck. The only girl that has everything for me doesn't want me.

We found her later that day and I was relatively happy. Almost 2 days later, I'm sad. I'm getting depressed. Is every girl I like- every girl that has everything I want and need- going to turn me down? Are they going to just want to be 'friends'?

I cried. I don't cry. I didn't bawl out sobbing, but I put my head down. Tears came out. I've always thought love was too strong of a word for a highschooler like me to use... but.. I can't help but think that I just might love her.

...and she doesn't love me back.

I've secretly been in love with a man I hadn't seen for over 5 years. I never stopped thinking about him. Now hes back in my life and there is this girl that says she loves him. He lives in a different state and doesn't consider her his girlfriend. I've met her. He took me to meet her. Probably never thought she would like me so much. She's always asking me to lunch and texting me when shes bored. She wants me to be her best buddy. The problem is she's really nice and I like hanging out with her, but she always wants to talk about him. It's more then I can handle. She asked me for advice one day as to whether or not she should stick around in hopes that he might ask her to marry him. I don't know if shes just crazy or if hes just an ass hole. It's probably a little bit of both. I deleted her posts from my facebook and I've kinda stopped texting him too. All I ever wanted was to have him back in my life. I can't do this anymore. I can't listen to her stories about their life together. There once was a time where he ad asked me to move in with him but I refused because he was in love with his ex girlfriend who he'd been with for most of his life. If I'd moved in it would have ruined his chances to be with her. Even though he was unhappy I knew he loved her and wanted to be with her in the end. I had to let him go. When he found out she was pregnant he asked her to marry him and I never talked to him again. Not out of spite but out of respect. It was time for me to step aside. For the next 5 years I was in a horrible relationship that made me miss him every day. In the end his wife went crazy and they divorced 2 years later, I was nowhere to be found. It breaks my heart to think of how it could have been different. I wish he had never introduced me to this girl. It's not fair to me...or her for that matter. As much as I love him I don't want to be his friend anymore. I know we will never be together. I don't want to know her either.

...I sang your songs I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them
wasn't worth never having you...

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
...I can't play with you no more.

You were never grateful for the love that I had to give. You were embarassed of me because I wasn't polished, and didn't have all of the credentials you needed me to have for you to be proud to be with me. Remember when you made me park AROUND THE CORNER FROM YOUR MOM'S HOUSE so your mother wouldn't see you with me, but your mother came around the corner & chastised me for not "being a man" and parking in front of the house??!!! In hindsight, I really do feel like you manipulated me into remaining close to you and serving as a "place-holder boyfriend" until you got your own shit together, although I do not think you INTENTIONALLY meant to do me any harm. Funny thing is, when I met you I had a car, a great job & a place to live. I was on the fast-track to the stability you talked so much about wanting your guy to have! YOU were the one that was recently divorced, unemployed, driving your mother's car AND staying at your mother's house! The fucking irony of it all. SMDH. And unlike what it tells you to do in "The Secret", you made it a point to remain pessimistic about my potential to become a good provider, as well as our potential to work well together. And you had the NERVE to wonder why we had such terrible communication issues?!! O_O Real talk, you couldn't have sent more mixed signals than you did with the whole, "I don't want to be in a relationship with you, but I'm gonna sit on the phone with you all day & night, go out on dates with you,make love with you... then "flirt" (internet sex messages with dudes, fucking around with "Juvenile Hall" at your office & God knows who else, or how many text messages/voicemails you received from these other guys right up under my nose) with other guys until it drives you up the wall, THEN I'll make you feel like a loon for thinking something isn't right" bullshit that I put up with for WAY too long. You think I was really on some shit with "A"?? Get the fuck OUTTA here with that! She's pretty, smart, young, but NOT MY TYPE. The ONLY reason I even got involved with her was because I couldn't get YOU to see me. And I was fucked up for doing that shit to her, because I essentially put her in the same position I was in with you! She deserved better than what I was willing to give her & I still feel terrible for leading her on, because I brought OUR drama into her life. Remember what your mother said to you about love & the reason why she left your father? That sometimes love is not enough? Well, that was some AWESOME foreshadowing there for our "relationship". My biggest mistake in the last 8 years?? Getting involved with you, beyond getting your number at the nightclub & just hooking up on some casual sex shit. The issue was that I was smitten by you & couldn't see that I was walking into the biggest goddamn trap I had ever encountered in my life to-date. Red flags all over the damn place....

We were inseparable friends from early childhood until we were 7 and I moved. We were only two hours away, but that proved to be enough and we weren't in contact until we were both 14. We had developed similar interests, we were both clever and funny (she was probably slightly more clever). She was bisexual, but mostly Lesbian. She identified as a 5 on the Kinsey scale, and I wasn't going to let that go to my head further than a distant hope. So we remained friends, texting on a regular basis. We had a speed bump in our friendship that was brought on from a particularly toxic friend of mine, but that resolved itself and we were close than ever. Earlier this year our closeness became romantic, but it was short lived as she was going to college two states over, and neither of us were happy with a long distance relationship. She's with a F2M transgender now, and they're very happy. I'm still good friends with her and her new partner, but there's my story.

have you ever been in love? horrible isn't it? it makes you so vulnerable. it opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. you build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... you give them a piece of you. they didn't ask for it. they did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. love takes hostages. it gets inside you. it eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. it hurts. not just in the imagination. not just in the mind. it's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. i hate love.
